Your Inquisition Caused Our Downfall

by Kayla Earls

What all does an angel have to think about?
To meditate on?
Have an open book
To verify facts
Isn’t everything laid out?
All your questions
Answered
All your answers simply
Given
But you
Are an intelligent being
You question
Why?
This and thatWhys coming in a constant stream
A river
Of light pouring from your perfect
Mind
You hear it trickle downWhys hit the pageHows drop like water
Hitting rocks…tap tap tap
Just like your fingers
Against your forehead
Trying to make the idea click
The light switch, flicks
On, LikeMorning Star
Those who followed
That bright light
You handsome ideaLucifer
